Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, a longshot candidate for the GOP nomination for president in 2024, this week withdrew from the race and endorsed frontrunner President Donald J. Trump, prompting Trump to make a comment of significance.

“He’s a fantastic guy, and he’s got something that’s very special,” Trump said. “He’ll be working with us for a long time.”

This, as the crowd was chanting, “VP, VP, VP.”

This was Ramswamy’s announcement:

Here’s an earlier video where he promised support for the MAGA ideals:

And here are Trump’s comments:

Just the News reported Ramaswamy touted his support for Trump at an event in New Hampshire, the next state up for a primary decision following Iowa’s nearly unanimous caucus vote for Trump this week.

Following his decision to pull out of the race, literally Ramaswamy’s next event was to appear with Trump, and support his bid, which should add to Trump’s momentum going in to the next few primaries.

Ramaswamy, while withdrawing, said, “[W]e are in the middle of a war in this country… It’s between the permanent state and the everyday citizen… Right now we need a commander in chief who will lead us to victory in this war.

“I think that’s gonna require… a businessman not a politician.”

“I am asking you to do the right thing as New Hampshire, and to vote for Donald J. Trump!”

The crowd then launched into “VP!”

Ramaswamy pointed out that his goal is the same as Trump’s, “to make sure that America First lives on, that Donald Trump is successful as the next president.”

He said, “We are in this for the future of our country.”

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: For America’s ruling elites, nothing is more precious, wonderful and life-giving to their great cause than the Jan. 6, 2021 “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol. It’s irrelevant that the events didn’t come remotely close to constituting an actual “insurrection,” or that both police and over 200 undercover FBI assets provoked the riot – which Tucker Carlson calls a “set-up.” Yet Vice President Kamala Harris still insists the minor riot was just as horrific as the 9/11 terror attacks and Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

WHY are the elites doing this?

It’s not just because convicting, imprisoning, torturing and destroying the lives of hundreds of Trump supporters is meant to terrify and intimidate millions of Americans into submission. And it’s not just because activist judges and bureaucrats in over 30 states are absurdly trying to keep Trump off their state’s election ballots by citing the 14th Amendment’s prohibition against anyone who “engaged in insurrection” from holding elective office.

It’s because the elites’ destruction of America is so rapid, horrendous and obvious that they feel compelled to turn their opponents into monsters – or lose power at the next election. But that doesn’t mean just calling conservatives and Christians “racists,” “white supremacists,” “radical extremists” and “domestic terrorists” as they do continually. They know much more is needed.

Question: What if, far from being horrified by a half-baked riot they absurdly claim is worse than any domestic disturbance since the Civil War, the left actually LOVES the idea of violence on the right – the worse the better – since it perfectly serves their agenda? Increasingly, all the evidence strongly suggests today’s power-mad leftist elites not only intend to intimidate and discredit their political opponents by calling them terrorists, they mean to provoke actual violence.

The secret strategies and shocking tactics of today’s ascendant far-left elites are exposed as perhaps never before in the January issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, headlined “INCITING VIOLENCE: DEMS’ SECRET STRATEGY FOR STAYING IN POWER.”
